Dropping out and moving on: A qualitative study of autistic people's experiences of university / Eilidh CAGE in Autism, 24-7 (October 2020)
[article]
Titre : Dropping out and moving on: A qualitative study of autistic people's experiences of university Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eilidh CAGE, Auteur ; Jack HOWES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1664-1675 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : *autistic adults *dropout *higher education *non-completion Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many autistic people now go to university, but many of them also drop out of their studies. In fact, it is believed that autistic people are at higher risk of dropping out, but little research has been done to understand why this is happening. This research used interviews to take an in-depth look at 14 autistic people's experiences of dropping out of university. All the things the participants talked about were examined closely by the researchers who identified common themes in what the participants discussed. The first set of themes captured some overarching issues faced by autistic people, such as difficulties with getting diagnosed, a lack of autism understanding, mental health challenges and feeling like an outsider. The next themes were organised within challenges faced at university, including a feeling of culture shock, becoming disengaged from one's studies, a lack of proactive support from their university and a feeling that dropping out became inevitable. Finally, there were themes about life after dropping out, which involved a sense that the experience at university had been traumatic and shameful, but they believed people had to do what is right for them. All of these themes suggest that universities need to be better at supporting autistic people when they first come to university, and that they should actively offer clear support throughout and try and make the university environment more accessible for everyone, to ensure more autistic people have a positive university experience.
